His pick-up changes are unreal! I think Marco is a real musician, not just guitar player. He shreds, but always keeps up the musical and melodic aspects of the song. Simply astonishing!
he and petrucci are the same guitar player haha, but sfogli is the real italian haha petrucci only has the last name xD sflogi is an awesome guitar player
+dfifty2 You're right, he's very versatile. And according to an interview with James and Matt (James Labrie band), the solo in Slightly out of reach was a first take... I mean... it's one of the greatest solos of the last decade (or even further)
This reminds me of the Petrucci I used to know, the sound,the phrasing I heard in images and words. Now I really do not understand what JP composes now. Thank god Marco is here.
his playing is his own way to play, nobody plays like him... One of my favorite guiatrist so far, it's time to be much more famous Marco !!! You deserve it !
Of course, everybody has their own distinctive style. Marco managed to capture a lot of technical things but also melodic lines and harmonies which seem very similar to me, and a lot of other listeners who appreciate John's particular sound. If you are a guitar player you also have your own style, mixed up between your favorite artists and however you change them around, inserting your own ideas and playstyle aswell.
Thanks Marco for being such a great inspiration. It is because of you,I have picked up the guitar again. For ME,you are the BEST,the #1 Guitarist. Rest are just mere mortals for me.
The little 5 or 6 note lick that he plays early on and then repeats two more times is a great idea for the first portion of the piece, and then he hits that arpeggio sweep lick from 48: to 50: and it sounds like a different instrument. lol so fluid, watch his right hand during those 3 seconds. Peerless control and ease.
If Martin wrote the tracks and Marco and Martin both can write beautiful melodies, Marco and Martin should be playing together. Jamtrackcentral should start pushing artists with complementary styles to join up and produce their album. I loved the ballads album. This could be the next step.
This guys a great player! love his work with james labrie! yet listening to this track made me realize that any of the "petrucci style" or "petrucci tribute" guitar videos I've watched all show his licks and what not, but they're always in straight time. Half of the battle of playing petrucci is playing the barrage of oddtime signatures thrown at you, while playing off of these licks at lightening speed, all while sounding clean, melodic, and having great tone! just food for thought
Meu Deus cara que som de Guitarra perfeita Marco Sfogli toca muito sou seu fã meus parabens pelo seu dom quero chegar ao seu nivel um dia meu caro vc toca com o coração
honestly... it's so kick ass and beautiful emotional, excellent playing, really awesome. yes sometimes he's face expressions are like "WTF i just played?!" and "Where did THIS sound come from??" made me laugh. great guitarist, very Petrucci style
His pick-up changes are unreal! I think Marco is a real musician, not just guitar player. He shreds, but always keeps up the musical and melodic aspects of the song. Simply astonishing!
I could not have said it better
Marco Philipp just what I was thinking, phenomenal indeed
he and petrucci are the same guitar player haha, but sfogli is the real italian haha petrucci only has the last name xD sflogi is an awesome guitar player
wow... now I can see! wtf... amazing changes...
Perfecto Amigo !!
Marco is the next step of evolution in playing metal, because he is so unbelievable musical.
He is NOT only a shredder....fantastic player !!
+dfifty2 You're right, he's very versatile. And according to an interview with James and Matt (James Labrie band), the solo in Slightly out of reach was a first take... I mean... it's one of the greatest solos of the last decade (or even further)
Marco is amazing, he makes everything seem easy.
This sounded a LOT like a solo that would appear on Suspended Animation (Petrucci's solo album). You absolutely nailed the style/sound.
Which one?
I agree totally agree with that.
1:30 incredible change of voice when you change picks position. Very Good taste Marco
This reminds me of the Petrucci I used to know, the sound,the phrasing I heard in images and words. Now I really do not understand what JP composes now. Thank god Marco is here.
1:02 world domination face
Mike Eaton 😂😂
Savage😂😂

those shred faces are awesome!
1:16 to 2:00 just proves that no matter how much you shred, its still the melody that really counts!! beautiful...
1:38 the most insane progression i've ever seen, Marco ah you rule ! \m/
Ultra SICK!! This makes me want to be the best guitarist I can be with what I have left. Thanks for the inspiration, Marcos.
Wow. His phrasings are so amazing!
Is this the guy from the James Labrie solo albums? 🔥🔥🔥
Maestro chitarrista! WHAT A MONSTER PLAYER: SOUL, TECHNIQUE THE WHOLE PACKAGE!
At 1:01 the face he pulls is him subduing the powers of the devil.
😁
Hahahaha
This guy is from another planet!!
love the smooth slick transition between phrases... also sweet melody and solos mix without over shredding, which creates memorable tune.
Simply amazing!
Thanks Marco for being such a great inspiration. It is because of you,I have picked up the guitar again. For ME,you are the BEST,the #1 Guitarist. Rest are just mere mortals for me.
I always got shivers down my spine when I read "Petrucci" and "metal" in the same place D:
Too right mate!! Sfogli is too good to be that unknown!
The little 5 or 6 note lick that he plays early on and then repeats two more times is a great idea for the first portion of the piece, and then he hits that arpeggio sweep lick from 48: to 50: and it sounds like a different instrument. lol so fluid, watch his right hand during those 3 seconds. Peerless control and ease.
So amazing
Killer player!!! Not a simple shredder: tasty licks and enviable precision.
i love how he immediately change the pickup position to bridge position at 1:32 to get that screaming note
Great stuff
king king king , i have no words to say , awesome
1:16-1:37 wow moment-i love this !!!!
Very impressive. Can definitely hear the Petrucci influence/style there.
Love phrygian scale, so so good. Love Marco’s playing too.
His tone is simply amazing.
AMAZING!!!!!
That is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard!
Mamma miaaaaaaaaaaaa questo Marco Sfogli è un vero fenomenooooooooooooo
A MOSTROOOOOOOO
уникален!
Sei grande Marco !!!!
Damn that was one melodic lick. LOVED it dude.
oh yeah the ending lick
OMMIODDIOOOOO...
Era da un pezzo che non sentivo pezzi così... decisamente assurdo :D
Insanely good‼️ I had to give this a whirl
I love this. Hes playing with an rg through a triaxis (i believe) reminds me of petrucci's old days.
Grande Marco. Bravissimo. Orgoglio italiano!
If Martin wrote the tracks and Marco and Martin both can write beautiful melodies, Marco and Martin should be playing together. Jamtrackcentral should start pushing artists with complementary styles to join up and produce their album. I loved the ballads album. This could be the next step.
I usually post hate comments on "petrucci style" videos, but this one actually sounds a lot like petrucci. Really good job.
wonderful style!!!!! i love this guitar player!
the best saludos desde colombia !

Exelente! Aguanté alma fuerte banda Argentina el mejor guitarrista de Argentina
As a huge petrucci fan that was spot on
Man is he a clean player !
Impresionante!
The tone and overall vibe of the playing reminds me of the Constant Motion solo.
Nice sound! Nice tone....Fantastic playing....amazing taste = Marco Sfogli. :D
That was really cool! The arpeggio at the end was sick.
This is AMAZING! Song needs to be completed Marco Sir.
each time it makes hesitate between being only meloman and immediately taking my guitar to play with as it was my friend playing together
Grande Marco, orgoglio Italiano
nailed it!
2:06 Ridiculously clean 32nd notes out of nowhere.
I think my head just exploded. This guy is fucking amazing!

This is 'Sfogli Style'
this final arpeggio is amazing =D
Parabéns. Ficou lindo
BRASIL'
Você conseguiu pegar o jeito do petrucci. Muito bom
Mantap bang marco
there are elements of Petrucci, Sfogli, Timmons and lukather in this solo.
Those are in fact some of Marco's influences. Among many many others.
97 000th viewer :) Great job as always Marco, impeccable tone and performance! A true talent!
Very good
Marco is the fucking master, everyone should go buy his solo albums because you won't be disappointed.
Oh my god! The overall tastyness is amazing!!
